One in every three people in Massachusetts struggles to make ends meet and put food on their table. Federal cuts mean food banks no longer receive USDA food—one-third of their supply. Area pantries already feel the impacts.

Join your neighbors, friends, and colleagues in our drive to eliminate food insecurity in this community!

This year’s Food-A-Thon marks 22 years of helping local food pantries and programs. With the continued challenge of the coronavirus, we will again collect financial donations only this year.
